Some surprising facts from the Colonel

Itchy feet at night

by Dr Sarah Brewer

question
Recently I've been suffering from itchy feet, especially at night. Is there anything that can stop it?

answer
Itching can be due to a number of problems, including dry skin, fungal infection and nerve irritation. Ask your pharmacist for advice, as you may need a specific anti-fungal cream, or consider seeing a podiatrist. Using softening lotions in the bath might help, too. Evening primrose oil supplements are helpful for itching.
